Design 3D CX owners; Cherry pick just the apps you want from the Strata 3D CX Suite - at the nearly half-off discount price of just $348.75 each.

For a limited time you can get the same price on a per-application basis that you get when buying the whole Suite. The Suite is priced at only $1,395 and includes all four Strata products - putting your per-application price at just $348.75. The catch has always been that you must buy all four at once. But not during May.

"Strata Design 3D CX is a 3D modeling tool aimed squarely at digital artists and illustrators. Everything seems designed to be approachable for Photoshop users - from interface similarities to use of the same vocabulary. It even ships with six Photoshop plug-ins to make using Design 3D CX almost like running a large filter set. Photoshop CS4 boasts some 3D tools but Design 3D CX has much more powerful 3D tools."

Friday, May 14th, expert Strata user, professional illustrator and designer Chris Tyler will show you how to get up and running with Design 3D CX and maximize your creativity. For new to intermediate users, you'll get the most out of Strata Design 3D by learning about fundamental 3D subjects like object creation, active grids, scene organization, object translation (rotation, scaling, etc.) and other important basics. This instruction includes a beginning look at polygon modeling/subdivision surfaces and an introduction to rendering and materials.

Don't miss your chance to get this expert training at an affordable price.
